Gold Coast holidays can now be even more blissful with the introduction of Airtrain's SmartPass - a total transport solution for the Gold Coast.

For visitors who require transfers from Brisbane Airport to their accommodation in the heart of the Gold Coast, and would like to explore the Coast at their own pace, the SmartPass is the ideal package. And at a budget price!

AirtrainConnect, Airtrain's transfer service to central Gold Coast hotels, has been proving popular with Gold Coast holidaymakers and the introduction of the new SmartPass complements this service.

The SmartPass features return Brisbane Airport transfers to accommodation with Airtrain and AirtrainConnect coach shuttle, unlimited door-to-door theme park transfers, and unlimited use of the local 24-hour bus network.

It gives visitors the freedom to explore parts of the Gold Coast they may never have seen otherwise. Removing the stress of driving and parking, Airtrain's SmartPass suits everyone's idea of a great holiday - from visiting the many beautiful beaches, the excitement of a theme park or staying out all night at a casino! The SmartPass takes you there and returns you safely back to your accommodation.

Travellers can choose the SmartPass which suits the length of their holiday: three, five, seven, ten, or fourteen days. SmartPasses offer extra flexibility by commencing validity for consecutive days from the first day of use with local Gold Coast bus network, until midnight of the last day. That you means that if they wish, visitors can use AirtrainConnect to reach their Gold Coast hotel, and spend a few days relaxing before they start exploring the Coast, without losing any days from their SmartPass!

Like the SmartPass, AirtrainConnect alone can be prebooked through travel agents. AirtrainConnect service features train travel direct from Brisbane Airport to the Gold Coast, and a coach shuttle service to hotels and other accommodation houses.

AirtrainConnect services all hotels and accommodation houses located in the strip from The Spit to Goodwin Terrace, Burleigh Heads, covering the areas of Surfers Paradise, Main Beach, Broadbeach, Mermaid Beach, Nobby Beach, Miami and Burleigh.

Airtrain train services from the Gold Coast run approximately every half-hour - passengers do NOT have to change trains to reach Gold Coast train stations. Those using the AirtrainConnect service will find a very comfortable, air-conditioned coach awaiting at their transfer station, complete with luggage trailer, to deliver them to accommodation houses within the service area.
